On an island off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can’t live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next “Pony Penning Day” does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether. Now a new generation of readers can discover this beloved classic, including the original Wesley Dennis hardcover art!

4.0 Misty of Chincoteague
Just as magical as I remembered, though there is a thread of sexism running subtly throughout. Paul gets to do all the good stuff and Maureen gets to hand him things. That aside, the narration is splendid, the storyline exciting, and the one beautiful moment at the end filled my eyes with tears, jus...

This was one of my favorite childhood books. After reading it, I so badly wanted to go to Chicoteague to purchase my own pony!
